Perfect
Mon Jul 05 2021 steg0saurusThis is one of the best mobile games I have ever played! The graphics are good and have a cool style, and the gameplay is very satisfying and super fluid. This game is very relaxing, and my goodness the view. The backgrounds in this game are beautiful. They each have a different theme (desert, moon, or my favorite one which is mountain, etc.) and you can see the stars and a couple planets. On the mountain one the sky turns purple and dark blue when you get a good dive. Also this game has a few ads, but you are not at all bombarded as they are maybe every 4 games, and so far all of them have been rather appropriate. Great job developers! To those reading you need this game, it’s a good time waster and will keep you playing after you waste that time too. P.S. disregard the age rating below, I have no idea what’s going on there, this game has NOTHING that a toddler shouldn’t see. Thank you 🤙
EDIT: Sorry I know this review is really long but I just thought that you might be a parent sitting here not trusting the reviews that say the age rating is wrong, I just recommend downloading this on your child’s device and then looking at it without them so you can see for yourself. I promise this game is completely fine for ALL ages.
Love this, but kind of annoying in some ways
Sun Aug 30 2020 LebinaAngelHi. So I love the game Dune, I have had it for a year and a half and I love it. (I just said that didn’t I?) Well, there is only a few things I don’t like. First off, I had this on my iPod touch before my iPhone and it was great. Now, I had to reinstall the app from the App Store and I couldn’t log in or anything and my iPod is broken so I lost all my coins and balls and backgrounds. Second, on my iPod, it doesn’t vibrate. There’s no way to make an iPod vibrate. It just doesn’t. So when I got my iPhone after my iPod got broken, my iPhone vibrates. I do NOT like the fact that Dune vibrates when you get a smooth landing or die. I do NOT like it and I wish there was a way to turn it off. Third, apparently, also Dune doesn’t show up in Settings with the other apps so I have no idea if I could turn it off vibrations or not. Thank you and please add a place where you can turn vibrations off!
EDIT: apparently I’m stupid or dumb or something and I just found out how to turn vibrations off in a matter of 10 seconds. Anyway please do consider the #1 I want my coins back please!! Thank you!
Increased difficulty. Impossible unlocks.
Fri Dec 22 2017 Zero EverlessDune used to be one of my favorite time sinks, it really was "the smoothest game" but now that they have ratcheted the difficulty up (by making the required angle of landing so shallow) it has become incredibly jarring and frustrating. Not to mention that if you hit a certain area on the downslope, your ball bounces and hits the upslope at too steep of an angle, causing an automatic failure.
The game has you unlock more backgrounds, balls, and hill textures by completing certain objectives in-game. For instance: revive 20 times for a particular new ball. The problem is, they made it ridiculously difficult, if not impossible.
When I started working on this one in particular, it was simply annoying; you have to watch an advertisement to revive (this is understandable), but when you 'die' a second time, you have to watch ANOTHER ad. If you skip that ad or close app, the revival you just used doesn't count towards the unlock. That was irritating, to say the least, but I muscled through double advertisements. This is irritating to me because I know the Dev is getting paid twice for what should be a single ad revival, as it is in just about every other ad-supported game. Now I'm at 17 of 20 revives, and the game will not let me revive at all anymore. The purple 'Revive' button is entirely gone. If I can't unlock this ball, I'm automatically precluded from unlocking others in the future (EG: use X number of different balls).
Really good game!
Wed Jun 10 2020 mypuppyissocute234This game is great and I would recommend it to anyone, regardless of their age. I don’t know why it’s rated 12+, but it should be rated 4+. For any parents who are worried about this game being inappropriate for younger children, please don’t worry about Dune.
I like that they included a function to change the balls’ shapes, colors, and trails. You can unlock all of these functions with coins, which you get every round that you play. There is one ball that is a pink gem and is for premium only, but this ball can also be unlocked by using coins.
This game doesn’t have very many ads, maybe one every 2-3 rounds you play. It’s very smooth, and there’s almost no lag. Every once in a while, you come across an ad, but most of the ads I’ve seen in Dune can be skipped after 5-10 seconds.
Dune is not hard to play at all. You simply hold down your finger on the screen to speed up, and release it to jump. You can also dive while in the air by holding your finger down.
I would highly recommend this game to any of my friends and family. It’s a great game to play with and pass time. Thank you for reading my review!
Why? Just why?
Tue Dec 25 2018 Person That Reviews!First of all, I have a question. So, now, when you first enter the game, you need to confirm those little things, then press continue, or something like that. At first, I though it was just for the terms of use and like bugs that could slow down the device. (Meaning it will load slowly.) So, as most people, I ignored them and just carried on with the game, playing around, changing skins, background, etc. Then, today, I took the time to read them and to see what they actually have to say. The first o e was as I expected, the terms of use/service. But then I moved on to the second one, and what did I see? “I agree to play for free and that my PERSONAL DATA is COLLECTED VIA the SDK tools built into the application.” WHAT. THE. FLIP. You can’t just go and collect personal data from adults, more so, CHILDREN. Now, Every. Single. Time, I play this game, I feel un-safe. Please stop this. Oh, and also, I will not be playing the game till this is fixed. For the rest of this review, it’s the adds. Most of the time, I can’t even play the game before and add loads in to collect your interest. Thank you. Have a nice day. Good day.
Please I Beg You to Read Before Downloading
Fri Dec 30 2022 ybgtggttgHello readers and or developers, this game was very fun and addicting to me back when I first downloaded the app, and there weren’t nearly as many ads as there are now but some of them were inappropriate for my age at the time but I just dismissed them because I loved the game. I first downloaded it when I was seven and I’m 13 now and my dad had deleted the app and me being a dumb 7 year old, I didn’t know how to download apps so I just accepted the fact that the game was gone. 6 years later, I redownload the app and my dad tells me to stop downloading it because there was a virus. I remember something weird going on my my iPad at the time I had the app such as me being randomly kicked off of apps that usually didn’t do that to me before, some progress being lost on other games, my iPad’s battery randomly draining at a rapid pace, and certain parts of my screen were not working at times. Me being the dumb 7 year old that I was, I didn’t think to much of it but I’m not so dumb anymore so I realize that had I kept the app for any longer, my whole account could’ve been hacked, deleted or compromised. I do not recommend downloading the app unless you like dangerous viruses, ads almost every time you die, and exposure to inappropriate things.
Liked it but one problem
Mon Dec 25 2017 Ggen55This game has been one of my top favorites for a long time. I think t is so fun and I am addicted. It is kind of easy but has some really difficult points to the game as well. This has got to be one of my all time favorite games. I have one problem though. This game has so many ads!! First off, I know that free games like these are supposed to have ads, but this is just bad. I have other free games on my phone that are just as fun but don’t have nearly as many ads. This game has a revive feature to so if you die and are about reach your high score or something and want to be revived you can use this. The price to use it is just to watch an ad. One time I used the revive feature because I was about to pass my high score and was very excited but the ad didn’t let me X out of it. So I had to restart my game and I had watched that video for nothing. This has happened to me several times. And it is not because of the phone because my phone is brand new. Anyway, this game is nice and I think it is worth it but the ads are just very very annoying.
Small fixes much needed
Fri Feb 16 2018 ChrisB228I play this game almost every day, sometimes several times a day. I enjoy it so much that I paid for the ad-free version (also because the ads were extremely annoying). And unfortunately there are some minor problems that would make this game much better if fixed. One of them is when I choose to watch an ad in order to continue my streak in the main game, and after the ad is over, I lose my streak and have to start back at zero. It just happened to me where I was at almost 100 points when I crashed, so I chose to watch the ad to continue from where I left off, and when I got back to the game after the ad it started me back at the beginning with a score of “0”. This is one of very few games I’ve actually paid for. And things like that make me regret it.
Also, if the developers could add a “retry challenge” button at the end of a run that would take you directly to the beginning of the challenge instead of the challenges menu, that would be awesome. Would just make binge-playing a bit easier. ;)
Love the game but…
Thu Jul 28 2022 baby otter34🦦I have always loved this game and recently I was thinking back and remembered that I used to play dune so I downloaded it again. After I got it I noticed a few things that were bothering me. Now there are ads every other round which gets kind of annoying and most of the ads are the same every time about therapy. Another thing that is really frustrating is the glitch. A lot of times my screen freezes when I’m playing this game and it isn’t just this game that glitches it breaks my entire phone. Because the game has no sound I’ll put my phone on silent so the ads don’t make noise and I’ll listen to music but the music will keep skipping and stop at random times when I’m playing. Whenever it glitches I try to turn my phone off and back on to see if that will help but not only will it just make my screen darker instead of turning it off but when it does turn off it doesn’t turn back on for 5 minutes at a time and it seems as if my phone had just died when really it’s nowhere near dying. I hope you can fix these problems soon.
Honest Dune Review
Mon Aug 13 2018 MimiTheDancerI used to absolutely be obsessed with this game, but ever since they made it a competition, I really don’t enjoy it. It might’ve been four stars if they didn’t make it harder. Why did they make it harder? Probably so you’d keep playing. But personally, I liked it when it wasn’t impossible. But that’s just me. If you like the new version of the impossible competition, congrats to you. Not trying to convince anyone not to play because it’s actually quite enjoyable but the competition aspect has made it more stressful instead of stress-relieving, which is what it used to be to me.
On the plus side, it doesn’t have many adds, which is quite unusual for a free game, and you get new balls, ground, and sky so you have variety.
This review could’ve been four stars if they didn't make it impossible to play, but because it is, I chose three stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I hope this review was helpful to anyone debating downloading this game. Once again, this is just an honest Dune review from my perspective. I would recommend downloading the game just to try it out. Some people may enjoy the competition.
Thanks for reading. Hope it helped!🤓🤪
